Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Me very low energy too, thanks for asking @Former-Member

My friend K came up this afternoon from B town down south (2 hours drive away).

She brought me M&M's, Hot Cross Buns, & a Gift Voucher for my Birthday.

I promptly ran out to Woolworths (after K left), before the shops closed at 5pm - Woolworths & Coles were never allowed to open on a Sunday (here) at all, until just a few years ago.

I bought Thai Spring Rolls, 2 Mini Quiches, 4 Choc Chip Muffins, Margarine, & some underwear (how exciting) - with K's $20 Gift Voucher (plus an extra $5).

So it's Yum yum munch munch time now (suddenly I have a bit more energy)....

Ooh I like the idea of that Chilli Hot Choc @Former-Member

As long as it doesn't burn on the way out, as @Catcakes suspected...

Yes it was @Former-Member

We only catch up about 2 times a year.

K comes up once a month or so, to take her children back home - after they've been up with their Dad for the weekend.

There usually isn't enough time in K's rushed visits for us to catch up - that's why we only see each other a few times a year.

@Catcakes
Hope you get adequate sleep tonight.

@Adge
It is lovely K was able to see you for your birthday, time is sadly so often limited.

K's friendship is the only local friendship that I've managed to maintain (keep) - from since before my marriage ended (7&1/2 years ago).

So I really appreciate that. I have an interstate (telephone) friend of 30 years, but we never see each other at all.

I value all my friendships highly.

"Slice of Heaven" song by Dave Dobbin & the Herbs - a lovely inspiring song.
